Jeremiah 51:29-31

New Catholic Bible

²⁹ The earth trembles and writhes
    as the Lord’s plan against Babylon is carried out,
    turning the land of Babylon into a desert waste.
³⁰ The warriors of Babylon have ceased to fight;
    they remain in their strongholds.
Their courage has failed;
    they are now like women.
Their buildings have been set on fire,
    and their gates are shattered.
³¹ One courier appears after another,
    and one messenger follows another,
to inform the king of Babylon
    that his entire city has been taken.
